TERMS OF USE FOR OUR EVENTS

1. Minimum attendance numbers
1.1 Our events guarantee a minimum of 8 dates at any regular speed dating event. If you meet less than 8 people at any one event, you will be offered a complimentary ticket to another regular speed dating event. No refunds will be granted.
1.2 Some social events such as wine tasting, walks, bowling, rock climbing etc require a minimum of 12 guests to go ahead. If the minimum is not met you will be offered a half price ticket to another social event, or a free ticket to a regular speed dating event or party.
1.3. While we aim to have a 50/50 gender split at every event, this is not guaranteed and may not always be possible due to no shows etc. At regular speed dating events, if the there is a difference of more than 5 guests, you will be offered a complimentary ticket to another event of the same value. At the large parties, a minimum of 40/60 will be achieved in the gender balance. If this is not reached you will be offered a complimentary ticket to another party. No refunds will be issued for imbalanced numbers due to the unpredictability of 'no shows'. 2. COSTS OF EVENTS & OUR EVENT GUARANTEE
2.1 As part of your membership we will inform you through our Services about our events.
2.2 The price of attending an event will be confirmed on our site.
2.3 We guarantee that you will meet someone you would like to see again at each PAID event. If you do not meet someone you would like to see again you can come to another event free of charge.
2.4 The guarantee only offers free tickets to events you have not already booked for. We will not refund tickets already booked for future events under the guarantee. If you tick anyone you have met at an event you have indicated that you would like to see someone again and therefore do not qualify for a free ticket to a future event.
2.5 If you are using the guarantee on a ticket that you bought for a discounted price, you must pay the balance when claiming the guarantee. For example, if you purchase a ticket for the discounted price of £14.95 and then wish to claim a guarantee and use it on an event which is £23.95, you must pay the £9. If you wanted to book another event which was £14.95 that would be no problem.
2.6. The guarantee is also limited to one free ticket per paid for ticket. The guarantee may not be rolled over. If you claim your guarantee and then do not tick anyone again at your free event, you may not claim another guarantee.
2.7 To qualify for a free ticket under the guarantee you must take part in the whole event. If you arrive late, leave early or choose not to take part you do not qualify.
2.8 This guarantee does not apply to special bigger ticket events such as days and evenings out (punting, walks, wine tasting, bowling etc) or to Lock and Key Parties or Balls. Guarantees may not be used to book these special events.
2.9 The guarantee remains valid for three months from the date of the original event. For Elite and Super Elite events, the value of the guarantee is limited to a ticket to a normal speed dating event (i.e. not exceeding £23.95). If purchasing a ticket to an Elite or Super elite event with a guarantee, you must pay the difference in price. The guarantee also does not apply to complimentary tickets. 3. EVENT CANCELLATION
3.1 When you book an event you must supply a daytime telephone number or mobile phone number.
3.2 If you want to change the event you attend, provided you let us know a minimum of five working days before the event, we will move you to another event free of charge or refund you less a £7 per ticket administration charge. Between 1 and 5 working days before an event no refunds are possible, however, we will move you to another event for a £5 per ticket administration fee.
3.3 If you let us know less than 24 hours before an event you can send a friend of the same gender in your place for no additional charge. We cannot move you to another event with less than 1 working day's notice. However, do please let us know if you are unable to attend, for whatever reason, as imbalanced numbers spoil our events for other people attending.
3.4 For logistical reasons we are not able to refund any New Years Eve tickets (with or without hotel accommodation) although you can send someone in your place provided you contact us at least 24 hours in advance.
3.5 To move to a different event or send a friend in your place please call us during office hours (10am-6pm Monday to Friday) on 0845 838 5600 (local call rate). All requests for refunds must be in writing.
3.6 Each of our events are based on a minimum number of attendees and we reserve the right to cancel an event if such numbers are not reached. You will then have the choice of booking an alternative event with us at the appropriate additional cost or reduction (depending on the cost of the event), or a full refund.
3.7 Cancellation may be necessary in exceptional circumstances and we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to cancel your event.
